Thanx CKLinLA!! Its just a standard black rubber dive strap off an old Seiko divers watch!! Its was oversized for the 14060 (22mm) but I shaved it down to fit the 20mm case and it shapes on the whole watch well!! Glad you noticed,I like it to....Rob.!

Welcome Rob, and enjoy your stay.

I think your 14060 looks absolutely beautiful on that strap. Never really been into non-metals but that looks brilliant.

Thanx for the reply Damien!! Im usually into the metal on my bands as well on my watches...However this is going to be my daily wearer and with this rubber strap I dont need to be so anal() about desk diving etc...+ it will be used for diving as intended for its use,so its easy to adjust for diff. sizes....
Now to all on TRF....! I have to just say.......I LOVE this place!! Meet great people and have learnt so much more than I thought....
Also,to all new members(as I still am)...Please stick around and jump in at any time with a question or post anytime....You willl get all the answers you need from the greatest people here on the net!!
Still getting my footing but have set some lasting foundations already....Thanx TRF,Rob

Great looking collection there Rob, if you are coming to Australia you may need to wear your GMT, just to keep track of time back in your home town.

Anyway, welcome and I hope you will participate and enjoy
